***Parental Warning- Adult discussions about sex.

“Healthy Sexuality: How do we and who gets to define it?”
We are continually bombarded by sexual messages from news reports, music, film, art, religious institutions, billboards, magazines, politics and so forth. So much information exists around sexuality – much of it conflicting, even amongst professionals. From “sex addiction” to “open marriage” – the spectrum is wide and often difficult to navigate. Especially when most of us come from a generally Judeo-Christian culture that has its own footprint on sexual mores and traditions. This presentation will focus on beginning a conversation that can address common myths and misperceptions as well as taking back the personal authority and permission we all need to define healthy sexuality within the parameters of our individual and partnered selves.
